Nikki <\/a> has created her Beautiful Bloom bright journal page using PaperArtsy Stamps, TS054<\/a> and TS055<\/a>, by Tracy Scott. Layers have been created using mostly one stamp from the set and painted with PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> made an Artist Trading Card with three poppies on a green background. The flowers and sentiment were stamped with the Simon Says Stamp Thoughtful Flowers set<\/a> and colored with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Barbara <\/a>chose the Roses 3D Embossing Folder die by Tim Holtz Sizzix <\/a>as the star of her card. She completed the card using Embossing Glaze powders in Rustic Wilderness<\/a>, Crackling Campfire<\/a>, Tattered Rose<\/a> colors. For the background, she used a lot of Tim Holz Ranger Distress Inks<\/a>, the Faded Type stamp set<\/a>, and Linen stencil by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> used the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Flower Shop<\/a> stamps for the focal element of her card. She inked up her background with Distress Inks and stamped over it with images from the Faded Type<\/a> and Documented<\/a> sets. She created her background with the Ornate Trims<\/a> set then finished with a sentiment from Tiny Text<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Emma<\/a> chose to use one of her favourite floral stamps from the Stampers Anonymous Dearly Departed stamp set by Tim Holtz<\/a>. She watercolored the image with Distress ReInkers<\/a> for a vibrant colour palette and added background layers using various stamp sets, including The Poinsettia<\/a> and Field Notes<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> was inspired by the beautiful sunshine weather in her neck of the woods and the wildflower meadow in full bloom she passes on a daily walk to create a set of notecards using Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Flower Field Thinlits<\/a> coloured with Distress Re-inkers<\/a> and Simon Says Hello Sunshine<\/a> stamp set and Build A Rainbow Stencil<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Macarena<\/a> made a most delicate card using for her watercolor background the Impression Obsession Peony Pattern<\/a> stamp and just 2 colors of Distress Oxide Inks: Kitsch Flamingo<\/a> and Bundled Sage<\/a>. She used a leftover from cutting out the Sizzix Tattered Buterfly Bigz die<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maura<\/a> loves bright, cheerful dandelions and created a spread in her art journal, using the Simon Says Stamp Dandelion Messages stamp set<\/a>, Simon’s Dandelion wafer die<\/a>, and added a bright pop of yellow with Rina K Designs Hello Yellow Neon Glitz Glitter.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Sizzix Wildflower Steam 1 Thnlits Die<\/a> to make the beautiful blooms and decorated it with Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue<\/a> and Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Quotations Metallic Stickers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sandra<\/a> used her favorite flowers for her card which is the yarrow of the Wildflower die set<\/a> and made a soft background using Typeset Collage paper<\/a> with White Gesso<\/a> and Distress Paint Speckled Egg<\/a> on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Zoey<\/a> made her background using Kitsch Flamingo<\/a> as her main color, then she covered the entire tag with the beautiful Botanical Collage Paper<\/a>. She added layers of snippets of paper and washi tape<\/a>. The focal point is this romantic rose from the Engravings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
